I have a L3000DT and recently obtained a rototiller for my garden. When engaging the PTO I depressed the clutch pedal all the way and had to bring the PTO into gear it was grinding. The L3000 DT has a dual stage clutch. I want to be able to engage the PTO without the grinding. Any...

I have a L3000 32 horse and 27 at PTO Looking to purchase a rototiller for use in the spring. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Question about offset rototillers. I would need a 60 inch and offset to cover tires. Thanks Firstpass

Temp gauge is not working and fuel gauge likewise. I removed the temp lead wire and turned ignition switch on and only measured 4 volts when it should have been battery voltage 12.5 13 v. Is there a fuse in the wiring harness. or does this involve removing the instrument panel and checking...

Today I worked tractor 2 1/2 hours pushing snow. it was 30-32 degrees out and snowing. The temp pointer barely came off the peg. Is that normal for a L3000DT. Did not smell anything getting hot. radiator was warm. Any explanation except just cold blooded. Thanks :)

I have a L300Dt and did not have enough side clearance for any type of chains. the local tire place was puzzled but finally figured out that more spacing could be gained by flipping the dish inside out leaving the tire on the same side. it worked for me and I was able to place a real heavy set...

Do other types of wheel weight fit the kubota. I have the L 3000DT , What is suggested amount of weight for each rear tire. I have ballast in the tires at this time but would like to add extra weight. Thanks for the help

I am attempting to adjust the three point hitch and found that the swivel ball of the vertical lift arm is frozen. What is the best solution to get it to loosen up. Before I purchased, the tractor was exposed to the weather. I have soaked in penetrating oil with no luck. Firstpass

I reviewed the shop manual and it suggest maximum 54 inch width of rototiller. tire width is 62 inches. Could someone explain a slip center three point mounted rototiller. Who sells them or do you have to do a custom fit to offset behind one set of tires. Firstpass

I recently purchased a L3000DT and would like to know if this engine can take a block heater. Some engines do not have enough space in the water jacket to install a heater in the block. Is it best to buy from the dealer on this item or are there after market block heaters that will do the job...

I am new to my tractor and having some starter problems. The guy i bought it from told me that there is a fusible link right before the starter. If that get too hot you are done. I am going to test that and probably replace. Firstpass
